The older I and less mobile I get the harder it is to adjust the tilt on my table saw. So in the this I fix it and its is a game changer for me when using the table saw for woodworking and making.

Wow! Genius idea! I'm 70 and have an old Craftsman table saw with the tilt adjustment on the side. This was not only difficult to reach, but was fairly hard to spin. I welded together a bolt and small rebar in a pitchfork configuration to use my power drill to turn it. This is a much better idea, and if I can get the materials, I'm gonna try it. Thanks Izzy, I've been a subscriber for awhile, your brilliant ideas are the reason why!

Izzy, the better question is, why don't these manufacturers ever do something like this. I get tired of halfway crawling underneath and holding an angle finder to adjust my TS. Now, my question is... where's the motor? LOL. Great video as always, cheers :)

Guess they figured that if able to lug various shapes and sizes of wood to and from the saw, you can bend over a bit.

Complexity adds cost and potential failure points. Simplicity = reliability. Plus,(I’m guessing) 85% of all table saws never get tilted.

@RyanWattersRyanWatters 3 ай бұрын

Great question. They do it in the Unisaw, but that’s not the most accessible price point for the vast majority of hobbyists.

@careykitson1155 3 ай бұрын

Yes, the new Delta Unisaw moved the bevel adjust to the front of the machine. And added an angle dial indicator. Not sure how accurate it is. The other interesting thing about this saw was the blade height adjust was moved to the left requiring a new way of lifting the saw blade. This became a straight up and down movement instead of the arc of other similar saws. This could finally allow for height indicators from companies like Wixey to measure blade height. But since this was the only saw to do that those devices never came to market. The new Delta Unisaw got very little attention being overshadowed by Saw Stop.

@Ham68229 3 ай бұрын

Just try either heating pads or cold compresses to try to relieve the pain for a short time. As for your build, if you have a band saw you can make this work as well, just make sure you have a thin blade on it for cutting curves. There, for those of you afraid of a router ^^.
